Great location, old but clean. I wish the room had a table and another place to sit besides the bed. The Shower needs a shelf, soap, shampoo and conditioner inside the shower not in the other room with the sink. Over all this a good place and I would stay again.

Location is the best! Lots of walkable dining options. Microwave abd fridge were nice. They have txting system, you txt them whatever you need and they bring it up ASAP, very handy! My big complaint was lack of blowdryer, and couch and floor could have been cleaner. But when right on the beach, sand is to be expected. Beds are comfy, towels are large and thick, not cheap or overwashed. Id stay again.
